Every time my computer boots up, IE4.0 wants to automatically connect to the Internet. The Cancel Auto Connect box is not accessible, and I can not find where to shut it off. I've tried deleting my dialup connection, re-booting and checking the cancel auto connect box when it tries to connect. Then set up dialup connection thru Connection Wizard. Still tries to connect on next bootup.<br>
Any ideas?

A couple of things you can try.<br>
<br>
First, go into IE. Click the view menu and then internet options. under the connection tab, besides &quot;connect to the internet using a modem&quot;, click the settings button. Down at the bottom, make sure that the &quot;Connect automatically to update subscriptions&quot; box is not checked.<br>
<br>
Second, under the General tab, click on the Temporary Internet files settings button. Make sure that the &quot;Check for newer versions of stored pages&quot; has &quot;Every visit to the page&quot; or &quot;Never&quot; selected. <br>
<br>
I hope that one of these helps. If not, leave another post and I'm sure myself or someone else can figure something elso out. <p> Matthew Blyde<br><a href=mailto:mblyde@becon.org>mblyde@becon.org</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
 
What I suggest is that you make a shortcut to your dialer on your desktop and set IE to use Lan then only connect through your shortcut. Im pretty sure that should take care of it.
